About the Company and Team

We are launching a major project that will make the lives of our colleagues more convenient. The users of the new service will be hundreds of Yandex ML development teams, who train models for Alice, Neuro, Shedevrum, and other products.

The service will include several key components: Managed DevCluster for remote development and test runs on GPUs; a tool for simple and effective execution of training processes on the YTsaurus cluster with thousands of GPUs; an orchestrator that will allow describing data preparation graphs in Python and SQL; a solution for tracking ML experiments (similar to Weights & Biases); an MLOps system for storing models and managing their lifecycle.

We are looking for an experienced Team Lead who understands the development of complex high-load systems. You will manage a small team, oversee cross-team projects, and write code for the services of Yandex's future ML platform.

What Tasks Await You

Team Management You will lead a team of two developers: set tasks, conduct code reviews, monitor deadlines, care about the professional development and satisfaction of colleagues, fairly distribute tasks, and recognize employee achievements.

Cross-Team Project Management The creation of global ML infrastructure affects many adjacent departments. You will be the liaison: synchronize with basic infrastructure teams and ML developers, plan releases, and manage the implementation of new solutions.

Creation of a Cluster for Remote Development You will create a solution that allows developers to jointly use powerful machines with GPUs for debugging code without mutual interference.

We Expect You To

• Have developed complex systems in Go, C++, or Java (experience with one language is sufficient, but you will be writing in Go)
• Have led a team of developers (mentoring, performance review, task distribution) or are ready for this role
• Lead cross-team projects, gather requirements, and negotiate with adjacent teams
• Write high-quality code with regard to the given service architecture
• Understand the principles of developing high-load applications
• Understand how containerization works in Linux
• Be ready to dive into the specifics of ML model operation at Yandex and implement new infrastructure solutions

It Will Be a Plus If You

• Participated in the creation and implementation of infrastructure solutions in large companies
• Are familiar with infrastructure systems (Docker, Kubernetes, Ray, Slurm) or MLOps tools
